Hmmmmmmmm

Hmmmmmm. I see no answers yet. Good question. I'd like to know too. I have 12 acres with a small orchard and this year had 5 hives. We had a good crop this year. But what is the answer to Merlyn Votaw's question???

If you go to Bee Culture's website (www.beeculture.com), you can click on McGregor's Handbook of Pollination. It has a break down by crop, even telling you which crops/fruits/vegetables benefit from bee pollination. It has optimum ranges for number of hives per acre, etc. Hope that helps.
